merry christmas

we had a great christmas! last week my family spent a night in lehi near thanksgiving point. we broke the temple square tradition and drove through the lights at thanksgiving point instead. (so not worth it ~ just my opinion) my sister, abbie, brought us awesome christmas pajama's from equador. of course we had to prance around the hotel lobby in our new jammies.... wouldn't be christmas without it.

christmas morning was typical but great. santa was very generous and left us lots of toys.

on the 26th, brandon and i headed out to vernal to see his family. it has been almost a year since we've been out there so it was a well needed trip. it was good to have his whole family together.

while in vernal my sister millie gave birth to her second daughter. baby aayla had a rough start but is doing well. my mom, abbie, and i were finally able to hold her yesterday. i'm excited and blessed to have another niece.

i can't believe yet another year has come and gone. 2010 has a lot in store and we couldn't be more excited to welcome it in.

~merry christmas and happy new year~

the hole

i have no idea where the month of november went. seriously, it was halloween and the next thing i know it's the week before christmas. i love this time of year and of course it always seems to fly by.

the past month has been full of huge decisions for brandon and myself. namely, finding a place to live. well, here is the result of our decision.

yes, this hole in the ground is the beginning of our new home. i can't tell you how excited we were to see this hole being dug.
